The last post in the K8s Practice series. Bringing up a cluster and operating it safely for a year are different kinds of work. This post organizes the EKS upgrade cycle, node group replacement pattern, RDS automated backup and PITR, cost management with Karpenter and Spot, and regular security checks with kube-bench and Trivy. It also includes a retrospective of the 6-post K8s Practice series and the full 26-post K8s track.
